LC015 4MP 33X Forest Fire Detection PTZ Camera with 640×512 Thermal Imaging
LC015 4MP 33X Forest Fire Detection PTZ Camera with 640×512 Thermal Imaging
JideTech LC015 is a professional dual-spectrum forest fire detection PTZ camera designed for long-range, unattended outdoor monitoring. It combines a 4MP 33X optical zoom visible camera with a 640×512 thermal imaging camera to provide 24/7 fire warning, heat-source detection, smoke recognition, over-temperature alarm and perimeter protection for forests, refineries, mining areas, power plants, border defense, coastal defense and remote industrial sites.
4MP 33X Dual-Spectrum Forest Fire Detection PTZ Camera
The LC015 uses visible light and thermal imaging together for all-weather monitoring. The visible camera provides high-definition visual confirmation, while the thermal camera detects heat-source targets in darkness, smoke, haze or low-visibility environments. This makes the LC015 suitable for wildfire early warning, remote fire monitoring and critical infrastructure protection.

Long-Range Fire Detection Distance
The LC015 provides four thermal lens options to meet different monitoring distance requirements. For wide-area short-range monitoring, choose the 9.1mm or 18mm version. For long-range forest fire detection, choose the 35mm or 50mm version.
| Thermal Lens | Field of View | Fire Detection Distance | Recommended Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9.1mm | 48.4° × 38.7° | Up to 1.5km | Wide-area short-range forest and facility monitoring |
| 18mm | 24.5° × 19.6° | Up to 2.5km | Medium-range forest fire warning and perimeter monitoring |
| 35mm | 12.6° × 10.1° | Up to 5km | Long-range forest, refinery and mining area monitoring |
| 50mm | 8.8° × 7.0° | Up to 7km | Ultra-long-range wildfire detection, border defense and coastal surveillance |
Dual-Spectrum Monitoring for 24/7 Protection
The visible camera and thermal camera work together to improve monitoring accuracy. The visible channel provides clear image details for human verification, while the thermal channel detects heat signatures that may not be visible to the naked eye. This dual-spectrum design helps operators identify fire risks, abnormal heat sources, smoke events and intrusion activities faster.
Intelligent Heat-Source Detection and Fire Warning
The LC015 is equipped with an intelligent heat-source recognition and detection system. It can automatically detect multiple heat-source targets, trigger over-temperature alarms, recognize smoke and support heat-source tracking. This reduces the need for continuous manual monitoring and helps improve response speed in remote outdoor projects.
Forest Fire Monitoring Software Interface
The LC015 can work with intelligent forest fire monitoring software for real-time monitoring, alarm management, multi-camera management, temperature measurement, historical record search and data analysis. The software interface helps operators verify fire risks, review heat-source history and manage alarms more efficiently.
PTZ Cruise and 360° Monitoring
The LC015 supports 0°–360° pan rotation and -90° to +90° tilt movement. It supports preset scanning and angle scanning, with up to 8 cruise routes and 256 presets per route. This allows the camera to automatically patrol key monitoring areas without constant manual operation.
Perimeter Protection Functions
In addition to forest fire detection, the LC015 also supports perimeter protection functions such as region intrusion detection, line crossing detection, entering-region detection and leaving-region detection. It is suitable for high-value outdoor sites that require both fire warning and security monitoring.

Why Choose LC015 for Forest Fire Detection?
Traditional visible cameras depend heavily on lighting and weather conditions. The LC015 uses thermal imaging to detect heat-source targets before they become large visible fire events. With long-range thermal lens options, intelligent alarm functions and PTZ cruise monitoring, it is better suited for large-area outdoor fire prevention projects where early detection and fast response are critical.
